ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — The playoff-bound and injury-depleted Tampa Bay Rays put second baseman Brandon Lowe on the 10-day injured list with a fractured right patella on Saturday.

Lowe was hurt Thursday when he hit a foul ball off his leg.

The Rays selected the contract of outfielder Raimel Tapia from Triple-A Durham. To make room on the the 40-man roster for Tapia, right-hander Calvin Faucher was recalled from Durham and placed on the 60-day IL due to right biceps tendinitis.

Tampa Bay outfielder Luke Raley went on the 10-day IL on Friday with a cervical strain. He joined center fielder Jose Siri, who has been out since Sept, 12 with fractured right hand.
